Some minor things, but an alright song.

Indeed, a slower paced song. It's pretty good considering your other songs are all so fast and trance/techno/rave. You could have added more instruments, I feel just a few more would complete the song and make the cruelest critic stopping at your doorstep with flowers.

OpenLight responds:

Haha, thank you. I may redo this later on, and I'll let you know if and when I start.

There could be better instruments.

Personally, I think the original is much better. You could do so much better; the instrument choice sounds kind of... how do I put this... putting bells or something for a song as epic as Riku's Theme just didn't sound right. I'm only rating it so high because you managed to hit (almost) every note and Riku's Theme must be one of my favorite KH songs.

BlackskullB responds:

Well ofcourse the original is loads better xD We're talking about Yoko Shimomura here, Yoko Shimomura is a god! xD
I personally kinda liked the bells, it made it a bit more mysterious think =p

So awesome I voted it 5 and it lost points.

thanks for score and comment.
Happy you enjoyed it. I will try to post more soon. I've been real busy with other stuff, but i'm working on a few things that can go along side our fresh fridge milk!

Another amazing piece.

Like RetromanOMG said, this is completely your style. It's just, the way you change it... Great job. Great, great job.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks! Your reviews are always appreciated.

Nice, but like you said, not perfect. 9/10.

This is nice. I really like this remix, but I feel in 8-bit remixes, you should always add a little extra. It's funny, actually, before I saw this I made a remix in 8-bit of the RSE Trainer Battle. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/351262

Well, you've gotten quite popular, huh? It's such a strong coincidence that you've been making music for so many years and your first track is called "Sunrise". I've been listening to your songs ever since you made "Emotion Burst Locomotion". Great song. Great music. Great everything. Keep it up.

Great. I love it. So much.

What can I say? Another great piece, buddy. I especially loved the part from 1:05 to 1:18. It's not very suitable for most game bosses, though it has a hint of that kind of game material, doesn't it? It's more of an excellent techno trance. The may you put in the slider was great, and you really know how to make parts sound dynamic. The only problem is some parts don't sound exactly like they should go together. I find this more often than not in your songs, though this time they sound close. Not very much a problem though, as not the average listener would notice. The rest are all compliments, and I think you have enough of those. Great, great job.

I'm actually very suprised no one has used any of your songs in an animation. It will only be a matter time, with this song.

OpenLight responds:

Haha well thanks, man. I appreciate your enthusiasm and your support.

I agree that it doesn't fit for most bosses, but I pictured more of a dynamic and major boss, or the title could imply that this is a more major song of mine compared to the rest. Ha, either one.

I think I know what you mean about some of the parts not seemingly going together. I use a lot of jazzy scales (not jazz in mood, but in essence), so that may be what you're hearing. I also believe that brief dissonance can enhance the more coherent areas.

As for the using in animation thing, I may have an animator friend making a movie, but he also makes music so he may just use his own, haha.

I am up for any offers though! I'd be pumped to have it used in anything.

Thanks!

Way too repetitive.

I think every good song should have a base tune, but this is just too much. Probably 40 lines of one thing over and over again, except with maybe 1 note changed. It gets a little boring. It's a nice tune, but I can't get over that.
Also, what's with the 8 second space at the end? I use Fruity Loops 9 XXL and that doesn't happen for me. Oh, well, doesn't really matter.

I think that if you add some real variety, you could make this into a helluva song.

Feremak responds:

Thx for the comment drew, your view is really appreciated

Near Perfection.

It is by far your best musical creation. I mostly clicked on this because I thought it would be a remix of the song Passion from Kingdom Hearts 2, but there's no loss, because this is great. It sounds very professional. It wouldn't be fair, though, to give it a 10, because it was not perfect. I don't give songs that I think aren't perfect 10s. It's so close, though, I had to argue with myself with a few minutes what to give it. I really do like it. Keep making music.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks!

I really would like to know what exactly makes this song better than all of the rest. I'm sure I tried out some stuff with it that I didn't try in other songs, so let me know what parts are exceptionally good!

And I plan on making more music. Thanks for the encouragement!

Uuuhhhh...

Remixing all of your songs together isn't a bad idea, but this remix is just.... ugh. It doesn't work at all, I'm sorry. But you knew that already.

OpenLight responds:

Yeah, I tried to make the crappiest song I could. That 3 equates to a 9 in my book.

In other words, I'm hoping this song "fails."
